half of them in the pentagon. the pentagon yesterday said okay, you want to this happen? here's what you got. you have a decline in military readiness for the united states. that's already started because ships that should have been deployed to the mediterranean have not been deployed because operations and maintenance on militaryaire craft has been postponed or delayed. that's really smart. they're going to cut back on training so new forces to replace existing forces in afghanistan or iraq, for example. they're just not going to be ready to be deployed. and the pentagon said maybe most striking of all we have already sent out word to 800,000 civilian employees of the pentagon around the world. most of them in this country. a lot of them here in washington, d.c. and in northern virginia. sent word out that they're going to be furloughed which means in the beginning, they will have to cut back one day a week without pay. that's a 20% cut in their pay. one little example... i was told yesterday that if the sequester kicks in, for example there will be no easter egg roll at

a former military officer who spent years working with pentagon tax dollars has a bold answer for sequestitration and a message from washington. what was the light in the sky broof san francisco. reports from witnesses and a video backing up the claims. a mysterous flying object and this time in u.s. air space and coming just hours after a metor exploding thousands of miles away and rattling buildings and people below . fox reports from inside russia on the cosmic clean up following a direct hit from outer space . a new warning over the defense budget showdown this time from the army's top brass. in my opinion sequestation is not in the best interest of the national security. it places a burden on the soldiers and civilians and plus, questions tonight about whether washington is playing politics with the troops and what deep cuts would mean for our military. and a police cruiser there one moment and gone the next after a car slams into it somewhere caught in all of that blur, a little boy. >> i am harris faulkner and it is time for the clean up the day after what looked like an assault from the s

buckets of money in the private sector, including serving on the board of a major contractor with the pentagon. mr. gates gave speeches, lots of them, for which he was paid plenty. but when bob gates testified before the senate, the subject of his private sector earnings never came up. after five hours of non-confrontational questions, the committee volt ford him unanimously. and then when it went to the full senate they confirmed him 95-2. the nominee before, that remember this guy? donald rumsfeld, 2001. donald rumsfeld, of course, had made zillions in the private sector. he sat on the board of a company that was believed to have won a giant contract to help north korea build nuclear reactors. but when donald rumsfeld testified before the senate, they didn't ask about the stock that he held or his roles in international business. they didn't even ask about the north korean reactors. they recommended his nomination to the full senate where he was confirmed in another vote of 95-2. so if history has anything to say about it, then what's happening to chuck hagel right now is not at all normal.
